Random parallel nanostructures (ridges and channels) were created by scratching gold thin films deposited on glass slides. Atomic force microscope (AFM) images showed that the width of the substructures within the scratches were of the order of a few hundred nanometers. These nanometric gold features can then support…

Abstract Fe-rich smectites from lateritic weathering profiles have previously been studied by XRD, ICP-AES, SEM-EDX and TEM-EDX analyses (Gaudin et al ., 2004). These smectites exhibit intermediate chemistries between five end-members: Al-Fe beidellites, Al-Fe montmorillonites and Mg+Ni-saponite. The spectroscopic stu…

Abstract The crystallographic nature of modular structures is analysed and discussed in terms of their symmetry and structure building operations. The modular crystal structures we discuss in this paper are homogeneous edifices, built by one or more types of modules related by a point-space operation, and the whole st…

Nanocrystalline 4‐mol%‐Sc 2 O 3 ‐stabilized zirconia (4ScSZ) and 4‐mol%‐Y 2 O 3 ‐stabilized zirconia (4YSZ) powders were prepared by a mild urea‐based hydrothermal method. The as‐prepared 4ScSZ and 4YSZ powders behaved with different tetragonal–monoclinic ( t – m ) transitions on calcination at temperatures between 40…

Abstract A new method of investigating the kinetic parameters and mechanism functions of a solid phase reaction is presented. This method is to analyze the data based on the use of these data at the same temperature and the same degree of conversion on a series of TA curves with different heating rates, so that the ki…

L-Colitose is a 3,6-dideoxyhexose found in the O-antigen of Gram-negative lipopolysaccharides. To study the biosynthesis of this unusual sugar, we have cloned and sequenced the L-colitose biosynthetic gene cluster from Yersinia pseudotuberculosis VI. The colD and colC genes in this cluster have been overexpressed and…

Effects of nitrogen on the repassivation behavior of Type 304L (UNS S30403) alloy in a sodium chloride (NaCl) solution at 25°C were investigated using a rapid scratched-electrode technique. The repassivation rate was faster in the alloy with nitrogen (0.1 wt%) than the alloy without nitrogen. Irrespective of their rep…
